What's Your Rare Beach Boys Vinyl????

[harveyw]

I have a copy of the Capitol promo LP that features the ad for Smile (the "we're sure to sell a million units..." one), and have long wondered how rare it is. Capitol must have pressed up quite a few copies of the promo LP (that being the nature of promotion), yet, in all my years of collecting, my copy is the only one I've ever seen.

Does anyone else out there have one?

OK. I just picked up the most valuable Beach Boys record I own... It's  a three disc set of SMiLE. It is from 1993 apparently, 3 discs coloured vinyl. It includes an entire side dedicated to Brian's SMiLE party. It has a poster of the cover art and a 12 sheet copy of the session sheets.

It is labelled Capitol/Brother. Anybody have any info?

The only 'rare-ish' ones I've got are:

-POB promo copy
-POB autographed by Dennis
-SMiLE boot

and a ton of imports...not sure which ones are 'rare' or not though.

It's considered one of the best boots. I like the 2 LP Smile too, though it gets less acclaim.

I rescued one of these from the library of the radio station I was employed at. The photo is not mine (digital camera not handy):

Oh, now I am serious:

I don't have the rarest of the rarest, but I am rather fond of:

'I Just Wasn't Made For These Times' (stereo) on Sub Pop. Beautiful sleeve too. I got two of those.

It's rare enough - only 7,500 pressed.
